TL;DR: Multivariate analysis identified ALK expression and the International Prognostic Index as independent variables that were able to predict survival among T/null primary, systemic anaplastic large-cell lymphoma.

TL;DR: Age, performance status, lactate dehydrogenase serum level, CSF protein level, site of disease, and use of HD-MTX were all predictors of survival, and combined CHT-RT is superior to RT alone.

TL;DR: The current knowledge about HIV-associated lymphomas can be summarized in the following key points: lymphomas specifically occurring in patients with HIV infection are closely linked to other viral diseases; AIDS lymphomas fall in a spectrum of B-cell differentiation where those associated with EBV or KSHV commonly exhibit plasmablastic differentiation.

TL;DR: The results show that the causal role and value of EML4-ALK as a therapeutic target remain to be defined and that the EML3-ALK transcript cannot be regarded as a specific diagnostic tool for NSCLC.

TL;DR: The findings of the IBCSG 23-01 trial corroborate those obtained at 5 years and are consistent with those of the 10-year follow-up analysis of the Z0011 trial, and support the current practice of not doing an axillary dissection when the tumour burden in the sentinel nodes is minimal or moderate.
